Story
Hi! This is Ben, our sweet family dog who has been a very loved part of my mom’s and my life for over 5 years. ❤️Ben is super friendly, gentle, loving, and affectionate. He is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog and German Shepherd. He is up to date on his vaccinations and had a checkup and received two updated vaccines at the vet last month.He loves going on walks, being around people, and getting lots of attention. We recently had him stay at a doggy daycare for a weekend, and he had a great time! He was very friendly and adjusted wonderfully.Unfortunately, we are struggling to provide Ben with the care he deserves. This is a very difficult decision because we love him so much, but we want to find him a loving forever home where he will be happy and well cared for.If you or someone you know may be interested, please reach out. We would love to find our sweet Ben the perfect family. ❤️🐾

Story
We don't know how long poor Paloma (and 50 other dogs in that horror house) spent their life in those deplorable conditions, Paloma was rescued from a crate that was barely big enough for her tall frame, and the rescuer could hardly see her with all the junk that covered her. She was terrified of the very people who came to save her. Who can blame her? But after about a week of realizing she was finally safe and would be treated with nothing but love and kindness, Paloma began to come out of her shell and show everyone what a truly sweet soul she is. Today / Monday, she had her first trip to Home Dipo. The foster said, "She is literally the sweetest, most easygoing dog I have ever fostered." I am seriously obsessed with her. Like, she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. Very non-reactive; when something scary happens or another dog cues her, she backs away and gives space. She is a very polite pup and her way of asking for pets is sitting and staring at you. lol She doesn’t have a mean or reactive bone in her body and is learning to love the simple things in life, like head scratches and cozy couch time, while still finding comfort and security in an open crate. Paloma walks beautifully on a leash and absolutely loves her wet food, which is perfect for this sweet girl since she doesn’t have many teeth left. She is estimated to be around 8 years old and currently weighs 47 lbs. She will be fully vaccinated and microchipped. Now, after about a week at her foster home, I am fostering Paloma. She is literally the best dog. She is very much a senior gal and just enjoys lying on her bed, hanging out, going for short walks, and rolling in the grass. She is just so easygoing; she will be your shadow. She now seeks attention and pets by sitting directly in front of you and staring at you. She is cat-friendly. Potty trained. Walks gracefully on leash". Paloma would love to find a home where she can spend her life in a calm, loving environment she didn't have for most of her life. She will need time to decompress, to learn that she is safe and loved. Patience, love, and more love. Paloma is being cared for in Texas, and if adopted, she can come on our transport to NJ, arriving on October 3rd in Parsippany, NJ, where all adopters meet their new babies and take them home. You can apply to adopt Paloma.

Story
Are you looking for a quiet girl? If so, China would like to introduce herself. She’s approximately 3-4 years old and about 50 pounds. Though thanks to her love for food and treats, she could probably benefit from losing a few of those pounds! She’s pretty short and has a unique crooked tail. China adores everyone that she meets. She loves people of all ages and loves being with them. She really doesn’t bark much, if at all. She is house-trained and also walks well on a leash. She pals around with a male dog that is her BFF, but no cats for China, please. China was pregnant and wandered onto a property to have her babies. The property owners let her stay until the babies were weaned, and then they kept her babies and dumped her. She ended up in the shelter and was pulled out by one of our rescue partners. She is currently in foster in TX but would love to find a forever home. If adopted, she can come to NJ on our next transport. - Personality: quiet, loving - Good with: very good with people of all ages (including kids) and dogs. NO cats. - Training: house trained, leash trained - Weight: 50 pounds - Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped - Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.
